She gave it up. The question is "why?".
No Clinton willingly gives up something like that without a good reason.
Hillary Clinton has given up her security clearance in the wake of the scandal over her handling of secret information on her email server, the Senate Judiciary Committee revealed Friday.
Already posted on this earlier:

Interesting.
I did a thread search and didn't see that I didn't mean to duplicate thread.
The left leaning media is always nice to her.
It could be that she requested to give it up before they yanked it. That would be the smart move.
That would be my guess as to the real reason she surrendered it. I don't think sore loser Hillary "requested" it...

Having had a secret clearance I can tell you that someone only gives it up to stop an audit. There is no advantage to giving it up even if you never use it because it looks good in your file.
Something about this doesn't make sense.
From the OP link...
"Over her handling of secret information on her email server"? Why would she voluntarily give up her clearance over something that she was cleared of over two years ago?
She is no longer under FBI investigation.Was she "cleared" of this? What does "cleared" mean?

I am not under FBI investigation, as far as I know, but I'm not at all sure that this means I have been cleared of any crime.
She was being investigated for the improper handling of classified information. She was not charged and she is no longer being investigated. This isn't a defense of her by me, it's just a statement of fact.
As much as I dislike her, I have to give her credit for being smart.
I think they took the playbook from the TV series The West Wing, where Abby Bartlett secretly barters and gives up her medical license to stop an investigation."cleared" is a pretty loose term. I like "escaped" better....
Her clearance expired you nitwits
